If you are a technically strong real estate development accountant who wants stability, influence, and long-term runway, this is the one. We’re partnering with a well-established, privately held real estate development firm with decades of success in residential land development and community building.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:- High-level technical accounting role, become the go-to expert in development accounting
- Direct visibility to ownership and executive leadership
- Long-tenured team, extremely low turnover
- Financially strong organization with consistent revenue and backlog
- Systems modernization underway
- Free, high-quality health insurance, fully paid for individual AND family coverage
- Generous PTO to start and summer schedule perk – every other Friday off
- 401(k) with match
- Professional, stable, drama-free environment
- Work-life balance for most of the year, paired with a focused and demanding tax season (January–March) where the team rallies together.
The Senior Project Accountant will own full-cycle project accounting for multiple real estate development projects, including:
- Job cost accounting and capitalization
- Preparing and reviewing detailed work papers
- Construction loan draw preparation and reconciliation
- Lot settlement accounting (HUDs, purchase agreements, sales journals)
- Contract review and revenue treatment analysis
- General ledger entries and account reconciliations
- Month-end and year-end close support
Supporting tax work papers and GAAP/tax basis financial reporting - Cash management and banking activity
This Senior Project Accountant must be comfortable operating independently and serving as the technical resource within development accounting.
Qualifications:- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (Finance must have strong debits/credits experience)
- 6+ years of real estate development, construction, or project accounting experience
- Strong understanding of development cost accounting and capitalization
- Experience preparing detailed work papers
- Experience with lot settlements and contract interpretation
- Strong Excel skills
- Experience working within accounting systems
